This page gives all information relating to the submission of the City Centre/University Area Action Plan.

As part of Plymouth’s Local Development Framework (LDF), Plymouth City Council submitted the City Centre/University Area Action Plan (AAP) to the Secretary of State on 30 October 2009.

This followed a six week consultation period on the pre-submission draft AAP which took place between August and September 2009. The AAP will now be subject to a public examination by an Independent Planning Inspector. Copies of all the representations made during the pre-submission consultation have been sent to the Planning Inspectorate

The City Centre/University AAP may be viewed during normal office hours at: The Civic Centre Planning Reception, Windsor House, local libraries and housing offices.
